Does such a car exist? I like the 2005 model design best but I can't find any short-wheelbase examples at any price. Tons of VDPs and XJ8Ls and a few XJRs which of course are SWB but I don't need the extra power and don't like the XJR trim or the poorer fuel mileage. Then again, XJRs tend to have knockout wheel designs. Advice welcome!

PS: I also need NAV which is hard to find on 2005s, esp standard models. I may suck it up and get a 2008-09 which I like for the mesh grilles, ventilated seats and rear-end revisions but dislike for the mondo bumpers. Oh well. I need to design my own XJ8

 

They definitely exist, but keep in mind that something like 75-80% of X350s sold were LWB models in the US.

 

It might be like car colours.

When looking for used cars, it always seems that the nicest colours are never available.

Then the lightbulb came on. People who bought the nicest colours are pleased with their cars and are keeping them. The ugly colours ... not so much.
